Yesterday The Suicide Collectors was named a finalist for a 2008 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel. Bram Stoker awards are given out by the Horror Writers Association of America (Stoker was the author of Dracula) and are basically the big gold star given out by the horror writing community. Writers like Richard Matheson and Stephen King are among its recipients. The award ceremony takes place this June in Los Angeles.
